Get the Most Space Out of Your Garage

What's in your garage? 

Almost every home today is built with a garage - most will be attached to the house, but several homes will have a detached garage. In either case, a garage is an excellent storage place for hand tools, Christmas decorations, and much more! 

However, many homeowners use the garage as a catch-all and cluttered space. We have all seen it, a garage bursting at the seams.

If your garage is bursting at the seams, this article is for you. Here's how you can get the most space out of your garage.

Declutter Your Garage

Clutter can grow like a weed and take up all of the space in your garage. If you can no longer find your hand tools or beach gear, it might be time to make space and get things organized.

The first step is to make space for the useful items and to get rid of all the clutter.  

Here’s how you can start with decluttering your garage:

• Remove the worthless junk.

• Sell or donate the stuff that you haven’t used from the past year or two.

And now you're left with identifying and finding the best storage space for the rest of the items.

Use Garage Walls for Storage

Using garage walls for storage is a game-changer when it comes to getting the most out of your garage space. You can use Slatwall panels or peg boards to hang your gardening tools, sports gears, and even your car cleaning kit on your garage walls. Slatwall panels make for easier access to the most used items in your garage.

Use an Overhead Storage Rack

You’re probably right if you feel that your Slatwalls are incapable of storing heavy car accessories, a toolbox, and other heavy sports equipment. The overhead storage rack will allow you to store bulky items.  

You can also use old fashioned heavy-duty hooks to hang your bicycles on your garage ceiling. Also, overhead storage allows you to store items without occupying floor space. Thus, more space for your vehicles.

Get Custom Cabinets for Your Garage

Even though using garage walls and ceilings for storage sounds like a good idea, you don’t need to hang every other item in your garage. 

Custom garage cabinets are your optimal solution for storing small items like hand tools, Christmas decorations, harmful chemicals, etc.

Choose a Garage Floor Top Coating

A strong and durable floor foundation is necessary for easy upkeep and will improve the overall look and feel of your garage space.

Here's why an epoxy floor coating is better than other floor alternatives like mats and floor tiles:

·       It is durable, and its shiny surface reflects light.

·       Extreme heat, chemical, and stain-resistant property make it a fine choice for garage floors.

·       The life of epoxy coating ranges from 10 to 20 years if done correctly. That’s why it is always best to use a licensed contractor that specializes in floor coatings.
